Scientists at City of Hope, the Broad Institute and Keio University have discovered how specific gut bacteria work together with diet to flip a metabolic switch — transforming energy‑storing white fat into calorie‑burning beige fat in mice. “Our goal is not to tell people to eat extreme diets,” said the Nature study first author Takeshi Tanoue of City of Hope and Keio University. “The real opportunity is to understand these pathways well enough to design therapies that safely mimic their benefits.”
